Probably anyone who is interested in scents and perfumes has heard of Ambra scent. Also, when you visit a perfume shop, you will definitely recommend the most fashionable fragrances nowadays, which will also often include the luxurious Ambra note. But what really is Ambra and what makes it so special?

Ambra, also known as Ambra grisea (Latin: Ambra grisea, Ambre gris), is a bit waxy, hard, and flammable substance. And of course, many people do not know this fact, but it is formed in the gastrointestinal tract of marine mammals! Yes, Ambra is found in the sea, or thrown on the shore, much like our Lithuanian amber, except Ambra is found in tropical countries and Japan. Because it is difficult to find, it is very expensive and is particularly appreciated by the perfumery industry and used in the production of luxury and exquisite perfumes, home fragrances, spray fragrances, car fragrances, aromatic candles, or other fragrant products.

What does the smell of ambra smell like?

The fragrance of Ambra is smoky and slightly heavier, reminiscent of some of the incense or the smell of the earth, which makes it an oriental fragrance. However, while it is often heard from the interlocutor that they particularly like the scent of ambra, many people are not even aware that the pure essence of ambra does not smell exactly what they imagine. Ambra is very often used as a perfume and especially home scents are added to this note, but it is only one of the notes in the aroma mixture. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that buyers are particularly fond of amber or oriental fragrances. You will often find well-known spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, clove, or various balms, as well as ambra.

 To whom, where and when does this scent suit?

Ambra scent type remedies are certainly not one that everyone will enjoy. It is a more complex and exquisite scent, so this scent will never be the scent you feel everywhere. Everywhere it would be wrong, as is certainly not recommended for all women to choose perfume with this note, because it is fashionable or luxurious. Because if it's not your scent, it will start to hurt your head and tease after a while.

This type of scent is heavier and more solid, which makes it more suitable for the evening when it comes to the time of day. Because, with its warm and slightly pretentious scent, it is more suited to the cold season. Also, this fragrance is usually appealing to charismatic, artistic personalities, or those who like the original scent and want to stand out. Also, fans of this fragrance value quality, not quantity, and always know what they want and have the courage to pursue it. Still, this fragrance is more appreciated and loved by women, perhaps because it is dominated by a bit of incense, or vanilla notes, which are mostly appealing to women. This scent is picked by mature personalities who have already tried many different scents and are looking for something new and original.

This type of home fragrance will be perfect for homesteads, luxury homes, or homes surrounded by trees or woods. It will also work well in homes that are predominantly golden, mossy, black or brown. A scent for the home will perfectly decorate your living room, library, study, and will add a touch of bathroom touch. This home fragrance will blend well with homes that feature expressive paintings or heavier curtains, walls decorated with mirrors, and books on shelves. It also goes well with leather furniture.

In the business and work environment, this fragrance is perfect for massage and beauty salons, interior and furniture stores, hotels, haberdashery and luxury clothing or shoe stores. Great for decorating gallery or museum spaces. Also suitable for restaurants and bars. This scent is also picked up by law firms or notary offices. All in all, this fragrance will blend perfectly in spaces where you want an impression of luxury, confidence and exclusivity. However, we advise you to avoid this smell for medical facilities, fast food restaurants, fitness clubs, grocery stores. Spaces that are often frequented by children, such as toy shops, game rooms, movie theaters, or other entertainment should also be avoided.

If you have decided to give this fragrance, you must know very well the person you intend to give it to, because although this home fragrance is one of ODOR Top 5 fragrances, it is certainly not the safest option when choosing a gift.
